Environment and Immigration

What's wrong with the Canadian Environmental Movement? Why don't Canadian environmental organisations protest about the huge impact of successive government's policies to promote mass immigration to Canada? The six million more people imported to Canada since 1991 would account for four times as much GHG emissions as the Alberta tar sands project. Overpopulation is the number one issue that multiplies every other impact. Why is this message of the original promoter of Earth Day forgotten today?

Those who shout "carbon tax" , green shifting, reduced consumption and green living are like carnival barkers playing a shell game. They want to take your attention away from the fact that with a slight of hand they have removed the "immigration" pea from the table. And thus, an important variable in the generation of greenhouse emissions is not on the table of discussions or the agenda of politicians or green politically correct hypocrites.
